Chapter Twenty-Three: Donburi Rice
At ten o'clock at noon, Li Chuanshui returned with exhaustion.
For the whole morning, he really didn't find a single business, and he didn't even have a formal or rational conversation with a hotel manager.
But even so, Li Chuanshui was not in a hurry, because he knew that he had a "diamond diamond", and he was not afraid of not being able to find porcelain work.
All he had to do was patience and ungrateful effort.
Of course, there are many porcelain jobs and diamond diamonds, and Li Chuanshui still needs to eat, especially his "one-to-two" physique, which requires fixed-point eating.
At noon, in the growing hunger, Li Chuanshui began to look for a place to eat anxiously again, and finally found a "little red fast food restaurant" that looked pretty good outside the parking lot on the side of Weiyi Road in the city.
After Li Chuanshui walked in, he found that this restaurant was not big, a counter, six tables and twelve chairs were all of them, and it was deserted when he was eating at noon, as if it was not open.
In this regard, Li Chuanshui smelled a trace of strangeness. Because it is said that a store next to the parking lot, even if the business is not good, it will not be so bleak......
The restaurant is small and has few things inside, and the recipes on the walls show that there are only a few quick dishes and noodles left here, except for a few simple rice bowls.
These things in front of him made Li Chuanshui quickly understand that this is a typical "fly restaurant", also known as "Ermeat Shop" in the north, which is the most low-grade restaurant, and in terms of scale, it is a little better than the food stalls.
As a fly restaurant, the decoration here is also so simple that nothing can be associated with the word "eat" except for the price list on the wall and the red sign with the word "Xiaohong fast food restaurant" written on the door.
It's so bleak and so small, there must be no food here.
Looking at such a storefront, Li Chuanshui felt a little lost in his heart, but since he came, he didn't bother to find a home, and he still had business to do in the afternoon, just eat a working meal indiscriminately.
With a little helplessness, Li Chuanshui shouted into the empty small restaurant: "Is there anyone? The money giver is coming! ”
Li Chuanshui's shout immediately caused a series of reactions.
After this sound, a little girl who looked like seven or eight years old first came out from the direction of the cashier counter of the small restaurant.
The girl has two antenna-like pigtails, chubby, very white face, and a red dot on her eyebrows, which looks very cute.
After the beautiful little girl appeared, she smiled at Li Chuanshui, then turned around, and shouted crisply at a wooden door behind the counter: "Dad, mother!" Someone eats! ”
Listening to the little girl's shouting, a couple came out of the back of the door.
The couple was in their thirties, wearing white aprons, the man was short and ugly and black, and the woman was beautiful, but there were deep wrinkles between her eyebrows and eyes, which made her look tired and tired.
After the men and women came out, they looked at Li Chuanshui and were stunned for a moment, and then smiled at the same time, which was no different from seeing the God of Wealth.
After meeting and saluting, the woman returned to the kitchen, and the short black man came over and asked Li Chuanshui, "This brother, what are you eating?"
When asked, Li Chuanshui smiled and said, "What's faster?"
"This ......" The man's eyes rolled slightly, and then he said: "Donburi rice quickly, we have tomato and egg rice bowls, eggplant minced meat rice bowls, kung pao chicken rice bowls, Yangzhou fried rice ......"
"Okay!" Li Chuanshui nodded and said, "Just ...... Tomato and egg rice, add two portions of eggplant with minced meat! Hurry up. ”
"Three bowls?!" The man was surprised and delighted, "Are you eating alone?"
"That's right! Questions? Li Chuan asked rhetorically.
When asked, the short black man immediately shook his hand and said, "No, no!" I'm going to do it. ”
As he spoke, the man smiled and turned away, and less than two minutes later, the first rice bowl was served.
The food in this kind of small shop is only for the stomach, so the color, flavor and flavor are not to be talked about, but when Li Chuanshui poured the tomato rice in his mouth and ate it, he still noticed something "special".
Although the rice is a little cold and not well cooked, the eggs and tomatoes on the top are fresh and hot, especially the eggs are fried yellow and white, with small round oil bubbles, and they are willing to be eaten freshly.
Based on the speed at which Li Chuanshui's first rice bowl was served in about a minute and a half, as well as the smell of oil smoke on the restaurant's dwarf black boss, Li Chuanshui immediately judged that although this boss had average cooking skills, his hand speed was very fast, and he could make a plate of fresh rice bowls in about a minute, which showed that his cooking speed was different from ordinary people.
This in itself is a very common thing, but Li Chuanshui is overjoyed with his discovery.
Li Chuanshui knows that although this detail is irrelevant, this feedback is a manifestation and proof that he is becoming more and more proficient in his ability to "reverse fire".
Now, he can not only use the reverse fire to explore the raw materials and heat of cooking, but also can explore the strength and characteristics of the cook's skills to a certain extent, so as to prescribe the right medicine and surpass his opponents.
That's a big bonus.
With a sense of satisfaction with his own skills, Li Chuanshui happily ate the rice bowl in front of him, and the boss quickly took the remaining two plates of eggplant rice with meat foam, one after another, all steaming hot and fresh eggplant aroma, although it was not done to the extreme, but Li Chuanshui was hungry, and he also ate with relish.
Five minutes later, when Li Chuanshui finished eating the first tomato and egg rice bowl, the boss came over, removed the remnants on Li Chuanshui's table on the one hand, and asked Li Chuanshui with a smile on the other hand: "This little brother, how is the food?"
When asked, Li Chuanshui took the second meal and told him, "It's okay, you put less garlic next time, it will taste better."
Listening to Li's words, the boss smiled, turned around and walked back to the back kitchen.
After the boss left, Li Chuanshui continued to enjoy his meal, he still had the momentum of the wind and clouds and the unique physique of a foodie, and swept away all the edible parts with lightning speed.
This meal, although not very delicious, but also comfortable, after the meal, Li Chuan looked at the table, followed by the checkout and left.
However, just when Li Chuanshui fumbled his hand to his wallet and was about to settle the bill, he was stunned.
At this time, Li Chuanshui found that the pocket of his clothes containing his wallet was empty, and the wallet containing a thousand yuan of emergency funds had disappeared.
The wallet is gone, which makes Li Chuanshui frown, because the wallet not only contains 1,000 yuan, but also Li Chuanshui's ID card and the application form used to prepare the "Food Culture Rating Association".
He doesn't care about money, but if he loses important information documents, it's very troublesome.
Seeing the loss of important information, Li Chuanshui felt uncomfortable, and then, like all the people who lost their objects, with luck, first rummaged through all the pockets on his body, and finally officially confirmed this extremely unfortunate reality.
Just when Li Chuanshui was worried about this, Xiao Jiu'er in his mind asked, "If you don't give money after eating, what are you looking for?"
"The wallet is gone!" Li Chuanshui said helplessly: "Our money is all gone!"
"Gone? Impossible! Xiao Jiu'er recalled: "Before you entered the hotel, you bought a subway ticket, and you took it out once!" If you lose it, you should also throw it in this fast food restaurant. ”
"Fast food restaurant ......" Li Chuanshui was stunned, and then he quickly remembered a detail.
Li Chuanshui suddenly remembered that when the boss was collecting the first bowl of rice, his elbow had touched his clothes, and he felt it at that time, but he didn't mind, now think about it......
With this connection, Li Chuanshui seriously suspected that the dwarf and black restaurant owner had stolen his wallet.
Moreover, the boss's hand speed of stir-frying and cooking is extremely fast, and this fast hand speed naturally provides an excellent opportunity and technical support for him to "commit crimes".
As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people, Li Chuanshui took out the pen tube needle stained with blood poison in his right hand, sandwiched it between his fingers, and prepared to test the boss.
"Boss!" Li Chuanshui raised his head with a smile and said in the direction of the fast food restaurant's kitchen: "I've paid the bill!"
